we aren't given something for nothing
this is the meaning of forærende. To give something away for free. It is not a matter of course.

Nothing comes to us automatically
This is my suggestion. I take this sentence as being idiomatic. "få forærende" can mean "to be handed something on a plate" and I would suggest that if it wasnt a commercial text. Could say perhaps "nothing is for free"

we will have to work for it
Depending on the text that has to be translated, 'forærende' can be translated in various ways, as you will see from the answers, but I think my suggestion 'fits the bill'. Good luck!
